Noticed this in dmesg output on my NetBSD 2.0 fileserver:


   # dmesg | grep inode
   free inode /export1/154134 had 2176 blocks
   free inode /export1/154136 had 8192 blocks
   free inode /export1/154137 had 8576 blocks
   free inode /export1/154138 had 8704 blocks
   free inode /export1/154139 had 8960 blocks
   free inode /export1/154140 had 9152 blocks

This warning appears to have been issued by ufs/ffs/ffs_alloca.c, from
this code at line 723:

    if (DIP(ip, blocks)) {              /* XXX */
        printf("free inode %s/%d had %" PRId64 " blocks\n",
            fs->fs_fsmnt, ino, DIP(ip, blocks));
        DIP_ASSIGN(ip, blocks, 0);
    }

Can anyone explain to me what this warning means?  Does the
"XXX" in the comment mean I can safely ignore it?
